A very thought out opinion on gun control. | |
Lemon User ID: 5766356  United States12/26/2012 08:58 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hello everyone, Quoting: CriticalThinking The other day, a friend of mine from New York stumbled upon a pro-gun article titled "An opinion on gun control." Being from a Blue State, he naturally questioned why people (AKA guntards) defend guns as much as they do. We have had discussions before about guns, gun control, and possible legislation being pushed. I imagine this is what led him to do some searching for an understanding of the pro-gun community. Note that this article is rather long; but it is very, very thought out. After finding and reading this article my friend came to me and stated that he understood why guns are defended, and admitted he believes to have switched opinions on guns and gun control. Please read and share this, I feel this is very important. Let me know what you think! Note: No, I will not paraphrase for you. If you are too lazy to at least skim over the main points, you are merely hindering your own ability to aquire the knowledge... AKA Ignorant. This article is very informative, and I would encourage everyone regardless of "side" to obtain this information for themselves. --------------- EDIT: Again, PLEASE SHARE THIS with everyone you can. --------------- LINK ----- [link to larrycorreia.wordpress.com] ----- OP - Great post. (& great name). A little more critical thinking around here is a good thing. Money is a medium of exchange, not a store of value. |

Quoting: guncontrolltard2 fascism is the wave of the future. it's the only way that billions of people can be managed. That, my freind, is a terrifying world view. If you are right then genocide is in our future. maybe a little bit. but, mostly eugenics. And you think thats acceptable? eugenics? yeh. i'm afraid so. |

After all u no longer have a 4th, people have tried & failed 2 sue the TSA & other government agencies, so much 4 the 7th. Read the NDAA or the patriot act & u will find many more gone & much more 2 come. They r trying 2 get a internet kill switch, that would b the 1st. Not counting several article's ignored by our leaders. I find it amazing that so many want 2 c there rights go away. fascism is the wave of the future. it's the only way that billions of people can be managed. That, my freind, is a terrifying world view. If you are right then genocide is in our future. maybe a little bit. but, mostly eugenics. true the eugenics movement is alive and well. |

So take your amateur psychology bullshit and go fuck yourself, you worthless fucking Brit. No wonder the entire world has hated you all for thousands of years. I know a lot of people who have used guns to save there self & loved one, not 1 fired a shot! |

In it's day eugenics was in like global warming - I know T Edison was into it, there were several others - the movement in the US actually sterilized over 30,000, in the 30's.

There are far too many people alive today who shouldn't be breeding, & lack of Eugenics is probably why we're as fucked today as we are. People argue it's morally wrong, but if you look at nature, it has it's own eugenics methods. Humans were subject to this before pharmaceuticals & medicine practice took off. |

As for your replies, this only demonstrates the ignorance I mentioned in the original post. Continue restricting your knowledge about the topic at hand, it will get you nowhere. Learning about both sides of a debate will only help progress your own opinion. Libtards don't WANT both sides of any debate. They only want the illogical side. To a liberal...

Humans were subject to this before pharmaceuticals & medicine practice took off. From a personal point of view, I agree, some people should not be breeding. But that is my tounge in cheek opinion. I don't believe any other human being has the moral or ethical right to make these decisions for others. But you are right. Human Beings are as much a part of nature as anything else and the right thing to do is allow nature to decide the outcomes. It is through man's arrogance that he places himself in the God position. In my view pharmaceuticals & medicine are largely working against longevity. I thing better hygeine and water filtration has had more to do with increases in life expectancy than anything medicine as ever done. |

Sorry, that was me - I hadn't logged in. I don't support the culling of 6.5 billion people, personally I think that's horrific. But I do believe that for the good of mankind, controls need to be put in place to prevent certain people from breeding. To reduce the population to half a billion would take centuries, depending on how strict the benchmark for breeding is. But a program could be created to increase the requirements every few generations. We could very well possibly breed out agressiveness, violence & crime if a proper program was put into place - the problem as I said - such a program would take forever to fulfil, & I doubt we could find a people good enough to look after the system without abusing it at some point. |
| shawnerz User ID: 30831716 United States12/26/2012 10:14 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I appreciate a person that makes sence with the information they present.. The ideas that protection provides security goes all the way back to the stone age. When you find groups of people who cannot defend themselves you have subjgation.. It's a natural occurance to the defenceless. It is important for people to way the pro's and con's to any debate and then decide which solution is for the best of the community.. Personally I don't agree with gun control and feel that to impose it weakens our society.. If anyone should care to read more information on Gun control here is a link with further information on the subject.. Thread: Hold on to your pistols fellers |
